go further. Some people claim that it probably has something to do with discrimination and others claim that it’s just police brutality. I don’t really think it has anything to do with discrimination although most of the victims has been African Americans. I think it mostly has to do with misunderstanding for the most parts. Police officers have been the target of the century. They’ve been receiving a lot of hate lately so when things like that happen, they don’t tend to be patient with people.…

Globalize ADA Have you ever noticed that Americans with disabilities have so much more benefits than people with disabilities anywhere else? Even a question like that is a little far-fetched. Americans with disabilities do not have the proper accommodations but that is definitely better than having no accommodations at all. People with disabilities in other countries believe it or not, have no accommodations whatsoever. I strongly believe that each country in the world should have their own…
ensured that there was adequate access to all public buildings. It was applied to schools and other public buildings. One thing I read that I did not know prior is that this law is believed to have created a foundation for both the IDEA and the Americans with Disabilities Act which are also two very essential laws that have shaped how students with disabilities are treated in education. This act states that no student with a disability should be excluded from participation, be denied benefits or…
The audience of this summary is a worker for the federal government. The purpose is to give insight on the disability trends common in places such as Hale County, where school is minimal and so are the job prospects. The writing is more formal as this is an academic setting. The worker would most likely be reading this summary to find explanation in the rising trend in disability applicants. I am assuming that the worker would be knowledgeable on subjects such as the American’s with Disability…

Marcie, I totally agree with you when you stated that “ the Americans with Disabilities Act protects individuals that have physical and impaired mental capacity that impairs how they can function daily” (Walsh, 2013). Marcie, there are many Americans that face hiring discrimination and disabilities within the work place. There is a high jobless rate of people with disabilities constitute that shows evidence of consistence of hiring discrimination. Jobless rates of people with disabilities…
opportunities or equal outcomes. Although it is important that disabled individuals have rights, circumstances surrounding certain disabilities do not always allow for a person to have equal opportunities. I am a strong advocate for the Patriot Act, and of Americans sacrificing personal freedoms for the betterment of the whole. However, I do not believe that disabled individuals need to sacrifice some of their individual freedoms for the betterment of society because this is targeting a specific…
The act that made one of the biggest impacts on disabled people's lives was The American with Disabilities Act of 1990. “The American with Disabilities Act represents the latest and most comprehensive effort to fight discrimination against disability in the United States” ( Mezey, 2009). It included stopping the discrimination against disabled people on the basis of education, employment, transportation, public events, and access to state and local governments programs and services. The first…
Like similar civil rights employment laws enacted to protect certain classes, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was initially enacted in 1990 to protect those with physical and mental disabilities. This piece of legislation is interesting because it has two components. The first part of the law protects those with disabilities in the employment process. The second part addresses equal access to public services, access to private and public transportation, and telecommunications, to…
